What Is “Literal-Grammatical-Historical Hermeneutics”? by Michael Vlach

by | Hermeneutics

This post delves into Literal-Grammatical-Historical Hermeneutics (LGHH), emphasizing its critical role in comprehending both the Bible as a whole and its individual components. Consistent application of this method is vital for achieving a literal interpretation of Scripture. LGHH is closely associated with three key concepts: (1) authorial intent; (2) the idea of single meaning with multiple applications; and (3) intertextuality.
